Trying not to feel too much pity for myself

This post sucks, so here is a cute face to look at, at least. (That is, if you can see it from under all that hair)

Today is injection day. And I am desperately in need of it. I went for a bike ride while the boys went to see C-man's friend play a baseball game (apparently we don't get enough baseball?), and it was so painful for the first 2 miles - kind of like forcing un-oiled gears to move, except it was my hips and knees. At least the sweaty heat helped me push through it a bit, as I feel a smidgen better.

The injection process is so bittersweet. I crave the injection because it makes me feel better but hate it, too, mostly because of the side effects. I'm losing some memory from it. I used to be so good at facts and names, and now it feels like they are just beyond my reach. And my ability to focus is rapidly declining, which affects everything. My stomach ulcers have been in full force, causing a cascade of other ailments.

So every time I go to take another shot out of the fridge to jam into my stomach, I question if it's worth it. But then I look around, and realize that even though I'm forgetful and have a hot poker in my belly, at least I can do stuff with my family. Someday they'll come out with a better solution, right?

Guess who won $1000 in the Little League raffle?

That's right. THIS girl.

It's Friday. It's Friday! It's FRIDAY!

I can't even explain how happy I am to have this week almost behind me. Whew! Bring on the weekend!

TGI...T?

Honestly, how in the world is it not Friday yet?

Wednesday fluff and stuff

I ordered some summer shirts, because I need them badly. They're all striped. Apparently this is my summer of stripes.

Still no word on my car. They said July sometime, but I was kind of hoping it'd come sooner than that. Alas.

I'm working from home today, so C-man and I got to sleep in. We both needed that. I think he's going through yet another growth spurt, since he's been the emotional equivalent of a 14 year old girl and eating second dinners. And our having been out late the last few nights wasn't helping matters.

I ordered C-man an Aoki baseball card. You'd think you could find one of those at the stadium with the 2012 Brewers baseball card sets. But you'd be wrong.

We have some friends coming over Friday. They're Brazilian and South African, so we decided meat would be a good option. We're still debating which variety.

The problem with working from home is there is no one to make me lunch. I'd really like a live-in cook for when Beerman's at work.

Happy times

Last night we braved the heat to go see the Brewers play the Jays. Oh, who am I kidding? We slogged out to the game in Godforsaken sticky heat so C-man and his fellow Yankees could walk around Miller Park prior to the game. The annual pilgrimage around for a hat full of Miller Park dirt was made. And they were so happy. Beerman walked with them this year, playing the role of chief cat herder.

It being a 7:10 start time, 95 degrees, and the first day of summer camp, we left after the sausage race. But we got C-man a ball holder for this year's game ball, and I got my Brewers tube socks I'd been coveting. Such good, happy times. I love summer.

I need a nap

I didn't post on Fathers Day because we were busy doing this.

And, of course, also this.

It was a really nice weekend. And today we're back to the grind. It is C-man's first day of the usual summer camp. And tonight the Yankees walk around Miller Park before the game in the 90 degree heat wave, which will be brutal but adorable. So much fun, but I am so exhausted, I could use another weekend!

Another day, another game

Another weekend, another baseball game. It got rained out in the bottom of the 3rd, which was kind of a blessing since the kids had no pep and were down by 2. The most disappointing part was the kid who never gets a hit got a hit, and I was chatting and missed recording it. Shoot! That'll teach me to be friendly. Tomorrow, they play at Helfaer Field right next to Miller Park. It should be a good time.

My back has been torturing me to the point of not letting me sleep. I gave myself a boost this morning, but that always takes a couple of days to kick in. Depending on what we end up doing for Fathers Day before the game, I may see if I can get in for a massage tomorrow to try to straighten things out.

It was a long week for everyone, and I think we all really need the quietness. The plan is to see MIB 3 tonight. Here's hoping it's better than the 2nd one.

Playing ball

Little man slugged a double tonight in the first of three games this weekend. What fun it is. They ended up tying the game though. Definitely better than a loss, as they remain undefeated.

My arthritis has really been flaring up. I've been trying to ignore it. I think I'm going to shoot up with the toxic waste a few days early to see if I can give it a jump start.

My new camera lens came today. Happy Fathers Day to me.

Harry got 2 dinners tonight. The spoiled puppy jumped wildly at the mention of dinner, so I fed him, thinking he hadn't been fed. He had been. Little liar.

Beerman and I have been watching Game of Thrones. We're up to the Season 1 finale. I'm kind of addicted, even though there is some pretty gratuitous nakedness throughout.

I'm so glad it's the weekend. I've waited all week for this.

Summer colors

I am loving the summer colors and smells. Unfortunately, I am not loving the summer sneezes. Ever since C-man was born, my allergies have magically been pretty minimal. This year, however, seems to be an exception and nothing has been very helpful. So if you see my prying my eyes open, ignore it.


My hairs are getting cut today. I've rescheduled my appointment twice due to sickness and work. (Stupid work getting in the way of my beauty!) So I am soooo overdue. I love head massage hair cut day.

I ordered a new Nikkor 70 - 300 mm camera lens for myself for Fathers Day. I figured I had a hand in making him a father so should benefit a little. Really, I just have been realizing I'm finally ready for a bigger zoom, wanted it in time before baseball tournament season, and found an absolutely screaming deal being run a few places. Jackpot! It's supposed to be here Friday.


Harry has been an increasingly sassy pooch. Beerman claims it's my fault. Which probably isn't far off. Although, he doesn't get all excited and jump in the air when I'm in the kitchen chopping stuff...

I realized that I haven't been taking many self-portraits this past month. I guess it's time to get on that project again because while it feels a bit crazy, it does help with the creativity and technique.

I dropped C-man and the neighbor off at soccer camp today. They both got out of the car and immediately started joking around with the players like they were old friends. Give my kid an audience and he'll take it!

It's so good that it is almost the weekend. I really love summer weekends.

Randomly random hump day nonsense

C-man likes the Milwaukee Wave camp a whole lot. He loves the scrimmaging the best, but isn't sure if he wants to do this as an organized sport. So I guess that's a great thing to know.

I was feeling kind of good until this week's toxic waste injection. It was also the injection that after I did it must have had some sort of muscle cramp, because it shot back out of my stomach in a giant stream reminiscent of a cut artery in a horror movie. Maybe it's just coincidence, who knows.

I got a fortune cookie the other day. The fortune said, "Work on improving your exercise routine." What a crappy fortune. Mostly, because it's 100% right on. A friend has asked to go walking at night after work while our kids hang out at the park. I think that's a pretty fabulous idea.

C-man has 3 games this weekend in the heat. It'll be interesting to see how that goes!

Is it Friday?

C-man enjoyed Wave camp yesterday. He was pretty tired last night though. We'll see how a whole week of this treats him.

I'm already ready for the week to be done. I'm kind of exhausted.

The baseball tournament schedule came out. It's hard to believe it's that time again. I don't think his team could have drawn a worse schedule. They have to play an extra game and hit the other hardest team in the league by the 2nd game. Ick.

I've been starting to put together this year's baseball video ahead of time. In theory it was to be ahead of the game. In reality, I think it means I'm going to end up doing and redoing it three times since I have more time.

Beerman is slowly recovering from his crud. It sure would be nice to have us all healthy at once. Especially with Father's Day coming up.

Although Fathers Day will be spent at a baseball game.

Is it Friday yet?

From inside my cube walls

I need to come up with a constructive project to do for the summer. Beerman has been working feverishly (both literally and figuratively this week) on the fish tank. C-man is sometimes around, but mostly not. And I'm feeling kind of mentally unchallenged. The toilets need to be scrubbed and the laundry washed, but really, that's not how I want time to pass me by. I have so many options, but am not sure where to focus my energy.

C-man started summer camp fun today. He's at the Milwaukee Wave camp this week until his regular summer camp starts next week. It's an absolutely beautiful day out. Something I only notice from the ambient light coming over my cube walls, but noticed nonetheless.

There are only two more weekends of regular season baseball left. My, how time flies! But then, of course, it's tournament time, so who knows how much we really have left. C-man is really in the groove of it now, and was lamenting on Sunday that there was no baseball to be played. Atta boy.

Here's to a quick week to get us back to the weekend!

Summertime fun

Summer is here in glorious fashion - 90 degrees and sunny, the pools are open, the ponds are full of frogs, and there was no baseball to be played today. After some frog catching, we spent the afternoon at the pool with some friends. Apparently I missed a spot on my back with sunscreen. Yeouch.

C starts soccer camp with the Milwaukee Wave tomorrow. It's just for the week, but he's super duper excited. He's been asking to be in soccer, but since it's a 2-season commitment, I've been kind of reticent to join. But I feel like he's finally ready for something more organized during the non-baseball season, so this week should help us figure out if he really likes and wants to play soccer, or is just into it on the playground for fun.

Still undefeated

Another Saturday, another baseball game. The Yankees remain undefeated. And C-man even made a great tag at 2nd base. It should have ended the inning, but the ump blew the call and called the kid safe. It's kind of hard to get upset when you remember the ump is a 5th grader who is working for $15 and a hot dog. And in the end, it didn't change the final outcome of the game anyway.

Beerman has the plague that both C-man and I have gone through. It's kind of sucky to watch since we know how he feels.

I'm feeling a bit crummy of the arthritis kind. I'm planning on seeing if I can let the sun bake it out of me.

Here's to an excellent rest of the weekend.

A really good day

Yesterday, on his last day of being a first grader and being promoted with an unbelievably fantastic report card to becoming a second grader, he got a ginormous hit into a standup double to end the inning.

And with some nice defensive stuff, too, he ended up with yesterday's game ball.

It was a really good day.

Smelling the Roses

Whew, it's been some crazy work days lately. C-man and Beerman went to the Brewers game today. I'm kind of bummed I was stuck working, but at least C-man and I have the day tomorrow to hang out. Well, after his 2 hour school day. (Seriously, whoever heard of such a stupid thing? 2 stinking hours! What's the point?) He said he wants to go to the zoo together. Which really means he wants the latest moldarama grab and squashed penny. But what do I care? I love those little melted plastic animals as much as he does.

It's supposed to be a super hot one this weekend. I can't wait!

End of the First

Today is C-man's last full day of first grade. And it hasn't just been the hair and teeth that we've seen grow. It's hard to believe what a difference a school year can make.

Another day, another cough

• This photo is of the back wall for the fish tank, complete with caves for eels and fish.
• We voted this morning. At 7:35 a.m. we were #85 and #86 respectively. Most likely for the losing team, but at least it won't be my fault if that is the result.
• We had the neighbor kid over for dinner last night. He was over and we were having tacos, and that's just kind of how things roll between us. He pounded 4 tacos. Beerman and I were in awe.
• While I had to leave 2 meetings yesterday to cough up a lung, I didn't wake up from coughing last night. Progress.
• C-man has a bowling field trip today. Who goes bowling as a field trip in June? Isn't that more of a February thing?
• Speaking of teachers, I've got to get my act together on some gifts! I got some spices, but need to get some gift cards, too. The teacher gift thing always sneaks up on me.
• I could use a massage. Time to schedule one.
• I don't understand the people who say you can't complain if you don't vote. Isn't that why we vote? Why we have our system? So we can complain regardless of whether we vote? Not voting is kind of douchy, but you still get to complain.
• I can't wait until my day off with C-man on Friday. He's going to a Brewers game with Beerman on Thursday, so we'll see what I can do for fun on Friday...

Monday Is Not Such A Funday

We wrapped up a busy weekend after 2 baseball wins, some frog catching, hanging with friends, and dunking his coach in the dunk tank. Now it's time to wrap up 1st grade. I'm hoping to wrap up this cold that sends me into coughing fits. Ick.

And for a great big smile, look at THIS.

Batting 1000

• C-man went 5 for 5 this weekend. Further proof that new glasses were really necessary.
• We got the patio furniture arranged, the cushions put on, and the umbrella positioned where I want it. Now if Jeeves would just bring me my mojito.
• Harry seems mostly back to snuff since he hurt his back. We've been making him taking it slow, which he hasn't appreciated at.all. He rolled in something dead this morning. I'm sure it was just to spite me.
• Harry got his summer shave yesterday. He's much happier and not looking at me all panty-panty and with those "Dear God, just shave me already!" eyes.
• My cold is starting to wrap up. I'm still coughing and snotting, but much less. I don't feel like I'm completely disgusting, at least. I'm hoping it'll be gone at the end of this week.
• It's C-man's last week of school. It's so hard to believe I'm going to have a second grader! He is still my baby, though. Friday night he called me over to the dugout to tell me he loved me. I'm guessing I won't have that much longer.
• Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

Summertime fun

Author's Day

This morning was Author's Day in the first grade. The students had written and illustrated their own stories, and today the parents were invited in to hear each of them read their stories to the whole group. C-man's story was titled, "Sport" and was about the boys not getting along on the playground and deciding to choose another sport to play. 3 other kids' stories were about C-man or included C-man as a dog who was the main character.

After, I sat with C-man and my adopted kid (his friend whose mother is a teacher, so went back to her classroom) and ate donut holes. Not too shabby for a Friday morning.

Toothless again

Mom, I know the Tooth Fairy.

Really? How did you meet?

It's you and Dad.

Do we have wings?

No, but you have money.

oof

This cold has gotten ridiculous. I sound like I'm smoking a carton of Camels a day, I'm snotting on everything, and I can't hear out of my right ear. Really making a great impression on the new hires at work when I'm sneezing so hard my mascara is running down my cheeks. oof. At least Harry can walk again (he threw out his back this weekend and couldn't even lay down), Beerman's poison ivy is healing, and C-man's cold is mostly on the mend. Only 2 more days...

What I learned by buying a car

In between the parties and wine and dinners and coughing from this cold, I bought a car yesterday. A Ford Focus SEL hatchback in sonic blue with butt warmers and a moonroof that I should get toward the end of July.

It amazes me that with all that's advanced in the world of customer service, so little has advanced to make the car dealer buying process less slimy and annoying. I went alone so Beerman could work on the fish tank and C-man could just play and not have to sit in a dealership for hours. I learned a few things in doing so, or at least reaffirmed, about myself. And also about car dealings in general.

• I am not a sympathetic person. Telling me you are only making a few bucks on this doesn't make me sad, it just tells me we still have a few bucks to go on lowering the price.
• I do not appreciate people who are less than straightforward. Do not tell me it's your best price, and then shake my hand as I'm out the door and tell me there's still wiggle room on the price. And do not come back to me each time with a price that is configured differently (one with the taxes, without taxes on another, one not added up on one, just the monthly payment on another, with my supposed down payment included on another, one as a percentage of what the last price was) and expect me to feel you are trustworthy. I can subtract. And add. And that just adds up to a whole lot of shady to me.
• I enjoy haggling over a car as much as I enjoy haggling over the price of a hammock at a fair in the street. It becomes a game to me. Because I don't NEED this. It's only a want. And I can tell the difference between the two.
• A great portion of my work life is devoted to the issue of inventory control and making sure the customer gets the right size and color. So do not punish me and tell me I have to pay more because you have stocked the wrong inventory, or worse, push another model on me. This is not my problem.
• If you force me to draw a line in the sand on my ultimate price, negotiations have in essence just stopped. So you'd better be prepared to meet me at my line, because I am no longer budging once I've shown my hand.
• I am ABSOLUTELY willing to spend my whole day going from dealer to dealer for a couple of hundred bucks, so don't insinuate it's too much trouble "just for a couple of hundred bucks". Because it's my money, goshdarnit. And if you think it's that trivial, then save us the trouble and just lower the price.
• I will not settle for something I don't want.

It's summer.

Jumping into the weekend

C-man had his Junior Olympics competition at school today. He didn't medal for his long jump, but I felt he should have at least gotten style points for the hair.

Thursday Stuff

• C-man has Junior Olympics tomorrow at school. I'll be wrapping hot dogs for their lunches. I'm hoping I can get out of the hot dog duty for a few minutes to see him compete.
• I was down 4 more flats of plants from the school plant sale when I got to school last night. And someone actually bought some catnip!
• C-man insisted we get a flat of strawberries. Beerman planted them in a tiered pot. Now C-man wants more of them. I think the birds are going to be very happy with this situation.
• Beerman's alleged poison ivy has spread to his hand. He also has it all over his leg. Hopefully it calms down soon, because it looks really painful.
• My summer wardrobe for work really stinks. Everything I have is ratty and needs to be chucked. Time to do a little shopping.
• I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow with my favorite therapist. I can't wait. She's hard to get into during the times I need. It'll be a fantastic way to start the weekend.
• I'm needing less and less caffeine to get through the day. My only explanation is the huge boost of sun I've gotten recently. Hmmm...
• The back of the fish tank is built and the next step is to paint it. I'm so impatient.
• A girl in C-man's class won the hermit crab lottery to keep them forever. C-man didn't even put his name in the hat because after Easter break, he decided they were boring. Why am I the only one disappointed by this?
• I'm so excited for the weekend to start. Sun, parties, relaxation, and technology fast!

Wednesday Stuff

• I just realized this morning (after I got an email from the coach) that there's no baseball this weekend. How in the heck did I miss THAT delightful tidbit?
• I have a new team under me at work. That makes me very, very happy.
• In between our parties this weekend, I'm planning on powerwashing the patio and arranging the furniture. Ahhh... bliss.
• My plants are selling like hotcakes now that I reduced the price. On Monday night, I watered 40 flats. Last night, I was down to 25. There's still a whole lot of fennel and catnip, but the flowers and herbs and tomatoes are moving. I feel good about the whole thing now that my back is done aching. Before it's said and done, I'll probably pull in about $1500 for the school. Not rummage sale money, but still more than they had before.
• Beerman has a blistery rash on both of his arms. I think it's poison ivy. I don't know what's worse - that he has no idea how he got it, or that C-man was the one to diagnose the problem.
• I'm only wearing tank tops this weekend. My farmer tan is so well established, that may not even resolve it, but I'm going to try.
• I'm also going to try to go on a technology fast this weekend. Except for my camera. That would be cruel and unusual punishment. But the rest, I'm turning off.
• C-man is unrelenting about his unruly hair. At least I've convinced him to shampoo and condition it more regularly so it looks shiny and curly.
• I'm so glad it's Wednesday. Just one more day...

Tuesday Stuff

• I got a call from my rheumatologist's billing department for a bill I haven't paid since 2010. Kind of strange to have a 2 year old balance, since I'm pretty sure I've been paying bills since then, but whatever. Take my money. I don't care.
• The plant sale plants are slowly disappearing. I really just want these things gone. $2 people. We're down to $2 a plant! Come and get 'em!
• This is a 4-day work week. Have I mentioned that before? My goodness, that's a glorious thing.
• Beerman has been working on finding a place for us to hang up north for a week before school starts in the fall. One of the requests was for a private island. Now if we only had a boat...
• The fish tank back has been foamed and drilled and assembled. Now it needs to get painted. Thankfully, it's a long weekend. I forsee some real progress being made on the fish tank front.
•  C-man wants an eel in his tank. I'm kind of facinated and grossed out all at the same time.
• I have a new team at work. I'm kind of digging it.
• I'm also enjoying that it's sandal-worthy weather.
• 3 more days to go...

Monday stuff

• I can't get Jive Talking out of my head. I really hate that song.
• It's a 4 day work week and a 4 day weekend. Kind of sad that's what I'm thinking about on Monday, but oh, thank God.
• I have flats and flats of plants left over. The thought of getting rid of them makes me ill. I'm kind of hoping someone steals them in the middle of the night.
• Having all this sun on my skin feels like I've had 10 cups of coffee. I'm beginning to think Vitamin D processing is a real issue for me. You know, with my Web MD diagnosis and all.
• I dropped a pot of boiling water last night (stupid hands) and burned my eyelid and arm. Ridiculous.
• I had a work breakfast meeting and a work lunch. I don't think I'll need dinner.
• Is it Friday yet?

And on the seventh day, we sold plants

What a busy week. The plants from the school fundraiser are sold. Mostly. We made a decent profit for the first year, thanks to the extra hours post-masses, so I'm pleased. C-man's glasses are ordered, so hopefully we can stop his headaches sometime this week. We made it through a spring concert and baseball pictures. We made it through two ballgames (a tie and a giant win). And we celebrated our anniversary at the Avengers with our kid.

And now, I rest in the shade to secure my farmer's tan and wait for the storm to roll in. Well, in between loads of laundry, at least.

11 years ago...

11 years ago today, I was not doing this. 11 years ago today, the weather was almost identical to what it is today. 11 years ago today, I was all dolled up in a beautiful white dress, eating cornish hens, and laughing and laughing each time my brand new husband called me his wife.

Ahhh, what a difference 11 years make.

Happy anniversary, my love. Each year just keeps getting 'funner'.

Catching up

To say it's been a busy week is an understatement. And the weekend isn't making it slower. (How do these families with all these kids do it?) But to catch us up on the events a bit, we watched a Spring concert. As always, C-man sang his little heart out.

He's recently decided he wants to be a music teacher someday. I don't have the heart to break it to him that you have to be musically inclined. For now, he loves it. And who am I to squelch that?

Plants, plants, and shoot me, more plants

The school plant sale I'm chairing started today at 10 a.m. with a 53' truck and 6 giant racks of plants and ended for the day at 7 p.m. with more plants. Today, I unloaded plants, I sorted plants, I helped people load their cars with plants, I sold plants, and I moved more plants. I am burned to a crisp in unique areas, like just above my elbows and the back of my neck. And I dealt with a couple of people who thought they should get a break on their orders because they ordered so much. (What part of fundraiser is confusing?) I am totally exhausted.

But people are happy with the plants and people are buying more plants. I didn't screw much up, which was my big fear, and when I did, people were more than happy to swap them out for something else. And we're raising money for the school. So pretty much, it's perfect. (Until I have to go back tomorrow!)

Now if I can just get people to cover for me so I can see C-man's Yankees games, it'll all come up roses.

Deluxe Hump Day

It's hump day. Except I have the next two days off. Except those are to work the school plant sale. Except I have a massage scheduled at 1 p.m. on Friday. Okay, it's a deluxe hump day.

Crazy-busy

Wow, this is a crazy-busy week! To give you an example, today I have to bail out of my non-stop meeting day at work by 2:30 to pick up C-man from school so we can go to get him a pair of black dress shoes that fit and make it to the eye doctor by 4:15 (he's been complaining of his eyes hurting, which is never a good sign) so we can change into a baseball uniform and get to his baseball pictures at 5:15 and change into a suit and tie so he can get to his school Spring concert by 6:15. Not to mention, the school plant sale I'm chairing is this week. And then it's our anniversary, about which I've not thought at all. Oops.

Serenity now!

Post Sunday Serenity

It's hard to come down off a pretty darned good day with beautiful weather and a whole family being happy and go to work. But alas, it's Monday. So let's savor just one more moment from Sunday. Ahhhh...

Happiest Mothers Day!

After breakfast (creamed spinach on top of poached eggs on top of smoked beef on a toasted croissant next to a kringle and fruit), we went to mass. And then we grabbed stuff for a picnic and headed north to a really amazing park we like. We ate, we geocached, we threw rocks in the lake, and we walked until we couldn't do it anymore (even Harry). C-man made me a gift, but since he can't seem to find where he hid it, I have no idea what it was. Oh well. The amazing day was more than enough to make up for that.

Wishing all the mothers out there a happy day.

On growth

What a difference a year makes when kids are this young. Last year, I watched C-man excitedly get to the games and race around, occasionally throwing his glove in the air. Today, he had two strikes (the first was for a check swing that really wasn't a strike, but we won't be petty) and actually stepped out of the batters box, took a couple of practice swings (you could almost hear the mental self-talk going on), and then stepped back in to slug one hard down the third base line to drive in a run. (It would have been 2 runs, but the first run he drove in hit the 5 runs in an inning limit.)

I love seeing this kid grow. With it, of course, comes challenges. But he's such a special kid with so much to offer, I often question how I got so lucky.

Weekend bound

It's Friday, so it must be game day. One of the few times of the year I look forward to a Brewers loss. Let's hope my little Yankee is able to settle his nerves.

I turned 36 last week, but my skin is now pretending I'm a zitty 16 year old. Time to change the skincare routine, apparently.

I'm so glad it's the end of the school year. C-man has no interest in remembering to do his homework, and I've lost all interest in making sure he does any of it. So it turns into a morning scramble to get it done. Sigh. I think we all need a summer break. We are all just tired.

Last night I woke up from a nightmare that I had shingles again. It was 1 a.m., but I went straight into the bathroom, flipped on all the lights, and checked my back in the mirror. I was so scared. My PSA of the day - If you can get the vaccine, please do it! Shudder...

Harry's back leg has been bothering him. I hate that my puppy is showing his age. Beerman made him a new batch of glucosamine peanut butter liver treats. (The house stunk for DAYS after) Maybe I should start giving them to him non-stop.

Yesterday, I got my morning latte as usual. I got about halfway to work and got a call from the coffee shop that I'd forgotten it. (I usually don't drink it for a bit because it's too hot, so hadn't noticed) I don't know what's worse - that I forgot my coffee or that the coffee shop called me about it.

Next week is the school plant sale delivery. What are the chances I did this right?

Happy early Mothers Day!
